So whilst I am decidedly annoyed and frustrated, and I agree with your statements that we do not appear to have been given correct facts, I do have more relative optimism regarding some resolution of the situation than I did a few weeks back.

Well, if you are a "minor investor", I guess I rate as a "micro-minor investor" seen as I now have just a few hundred as risk
But seriously, I simply do not understand how some people can be so
'reasonable' about all this - take the point you raise: Allecoh posted here weeks ago that he did not have access to customer account info, perfectly reasonable and probable.
BUT he also posted his personal email address weeks ago, which I and several others have used several times since, to no avail! Now that in my book is entirely unreasonable.
The real problem I have is that this whole thread is littered with similar instances, which nobody seems to pick up on! Another recent example, Aleccoh tells us that
"account holders" had voted against an 80% settlement, but when it was pointed out that that indeed was not the case, he modifies his statement to
"big account holders"! That seemed to quieten the objections, but now we have someone claiming to have deposited $50,000 with Aleccoh but was never contacted about voting - which now begs the question, what is a big account holder? It beggars belief that someone with that amount deposited would not be contacted - though the guy in question did quote "over $250,000" as being what qualifies you as "big", so maybe he was contacted. But that would stretch my incredulity even further - who in their right mind would deposited that amount with a completely new,
Metatrader-supporting (
very important distinction) broker, especially one that required you to send the funds to an
individual, not a company!!! JK Rowling couldn't make this stuff up...
And I make the point again, this thread is littered with similar "word-play" - there's not denying it, this guy has talent, just not in the brokerage business...
